Thanks for answering. I was starting to think no one was going to see this.
I've thought about shutting down the system and disconnecting the external
hard drive as you suggested, but is there a downside to doing this when the
F drive is still registered in the system?
In task mgr. processes there's something called "BkupTray.exe" from an
outfit called "NewTech Infosystems". Don't know what it is. Do you?
Anyway, my virus scans have been running 3.5 hrs. I'll do the
shutdown-->disconnect-->reboot before the scheduled scan starts and see how
things look afterward.
